I see you've uploaded an image containing a set of statistical problems related to the lifetime of light bulbs. Let’s break down and solve the problems step by step.

### Part I:
The data set consists of 30 bulb lifetimes (in hours):  
451, 412, 419, 412, 375, 397, 429, 454, 407, 375, 393, 357, 456, 467, 426, 355, 345, 439, 364, 432, 381, 414, 392, 451, 413, 425, 422, 421, 329, 413.

#### a) Calculate the mean:
The mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of observations.

\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum X}{n}
\]

#### b) Find the median:
To find the median, the data must be sorted in ascending order. The median is the middle value in the ordered list (or the average of the two middle values if there’s an even number of observations).

#### c) Find the mode:
The mode is the most frequently occurring value in the dataset.

#### d) Calculate the mean deviation:
Mean deviation measures the average distance of each data point from the mean.

\[
\text{Mean deviation} = \frac{\sum |X - \text{Mean}|}{n}
\]

#### e) Calculate the standard deviation:
Standard deviation measures the dispersion of the data points from the mean.

\[
\text{Standard deviation} = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (X - \text{Mean})^2}{n}}
\]

### Part II:
This section requires the creation of a frequency distribution and analysis based on the following steps:

#### a) Construct a frequency distribution:
You need to create a frequency distribution table starting with the class interval [325, 345].

#### b) Calculate the mean of the frequency distribution:
Apply the formula for the mean based on grouped data.

#### c) Calculate the median of the distribution:
The median for grouped data requires identifying the median class and applying interpolation.

#### d) Find and interpret the mode of the distribution:
The mode for grouped data is found using a specific formula that considers the modal class.

#### e) Identify if the distribution is positively or negatively skewed:
A distribution is positively skewed if it has a longer tail on the right, and negatively skewed if the tail is on the left.

#### f) Draw the histogram and frequency polygon:
This requires plotting a histogram for the data and overlaying a frequency polygon.

#### g) Calculate the coefficient of variation:
\[
\text{Coefficient of Variation} = \frac{\text{Standard deviation}}{\text{Mean}} \times 100
\]

Would you like me to begin with calculations from Part I? I can also provide explanations for specific sections as needed.

### 5 Related Questions:
1. How do you calculate the median from grouped data?
2. What is the significance of skewness in a distribution?
3. How does the coefficient of variation help in comparing data sets?
4. What are the differences between mean deviation and standard deviation?
5. How do you interpret a frequency polygon?

### Tip:
For accurate interpretation of skewness, always look at both the median and mode in relation to the mean.

Calculate the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and construct frequency distributions based on the lifetime of electric bulbs (in hours).

This problem focuses on calculating the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation from a given dataset of light bulb lifespans. It also includes constructing a frequency distribution and analyzing the distribution's skewness. Suitable for college-level students studying introductory statistics.
